City stopped growing all of a sudden

[iddqd7331]

Hello all, I've had the problem where my city has stagnated around 100,000 population

As you can see in the following screen shots, the residential zones stopped growing, the commercial zones stopped growing and the industrial zones stopped filling in. The tax rates are all really low like around 5% for everything. I set it there to try and make the zones grow. I also made a city in a neighboring region to see if that would make it grow a bit, all it did was make the new city grow. I originally made the neighboring city all commercial zones with a neighboring connection and it grew just fine. The desirability can be neon green, no growth. Zone demand, sky high, no growth. I started on hard mode and also, I should add I am using the colossal add on mod. And the undeveloped zones have been there 10 years + at this point. Any way thanks for helping. If I need to provide more info i will.

If you're using the CAM, a potential problem might be that you don't have enough CAMpatible buildings in the range that are required at this stage of development. Other than that, make sure that your city isn't suffering from the following problems:

- garbage/air/water pollution
- crime
- heavy traffic
- lack of reward lots and other amenities (parks, plazas etc.)
- insufficient school and hospital coverage

Sims don't like to commute far distances through rush hour, and it looks like your industrial area is only connected via those two highways, so the roads leading to those might be too congested. Try to zone high density commercial zomes there, since those like heavy traffic (unlike residential areas). Make sure that you supply public transportation everywhere in the city (bus stops, railway etc.). Placing reward and park lots raises the "demand caps", allowing further development.

Also, what's in the city tiles to the west and south? It looks like your sims might prefer to commute to the other tiles (IIRC sims will always commute to the nearest empty job slots, and a connection has unlimited slots regardless of how many jobs are actually through there). Try demolishing the connections to the south and west (The ones on the east can stay, freight needs to leave somehow) and seeing what happens then.

If I was in your shoes, I would build some small parks and mass transit stations at or next to the empty zones, and then cover them with tons of trees. I would also remove some of the dirty and manufacturing industries, and build some extra roads (and add some rails and subways) to connect the factories with the rest of the city.
Also, some of your buildings doesn't have water. You might have to build some extra pumps or water towers.
